It's an increasingly stark choice for Australian families and Australian workers in terms of the policy options available to them. The Turnbull government is committed to more support for working families and to more support for Australian workers. The Turnbull government is delivering this childcare support despite the opposition of the Labor Party to our reforms. If not for their opposition, these reforms wouldn't be coming into place in four days time; they would have come into place 350 days ago—last year. But, of course, the Labor Party stood in the way of that support for working Australian families, just as the Labor Party opposes tax relief for working Australian families, just as the Labor Party wants to put an extra $70 billion of taxes back onto working Australian families and just as the Labor Party stands in the way of creating more jobs and higher wages for Australian families because of their opposition to competitive company tax rates around Australia. The choice is stark; the choice is for the Turnbull government to deliver for working families.
